creepykbear thank you for this wonderful post. No question about it I do this art so I can read fun messages. I think he'll enjoy the rest of the process. They are drying with a whole bunch of Hot Tub Hula Girl mugs and they'll all go into the kiln together.

hang10tiki what have you been up to?

============================

Wish List Progress Report. Every day right now I'm working on the Hot Tub Hula Girl mugs. They will help to fill up the kiln so I can fire those 3 crawl mugs and the anniversary mugs.

I'm working in the family room in front of the TV. It keeps me company.

Sometimes I find that my casts have fallen over and need some repairs.

This poor nose was an easy fix.

To each hula girl I add some strand of hair over her ample chest.

I add some sticky clay and push her into the coconut hot tub to stick. I then add the three dents.

The next part is to add all this hair running over the rim and down the back of the coconut.

I smooth it out and then I

carve in wavy lines to the hair and to the coconut. Every one is different because of the hand carving.

One done.

Then three. Only 21 more to go!

They will be in and out of bags for a couple of weeks so that nothing cracks as it dries. Drying very slowly prevents that from happening.

When I have all of these done I'll be back to the individual projects. Always something fun waiting to be made.

Thank you, Wendy
